He was fantastic in "The Visitor", one of the best DS9 episodes if not Star Trek as a whole.

Veilguard is gloriously woke and the fanboys getting mad over it gives me joy in these troubled times.

We saw one a few days ago (probably the same one). They look ridiculously stupid in person. And boring. I was surprised just how boring it looks in person. It looks like a car that would be in an 80s movie about a soulless, dystopian future where all creativity is banned.

My guess would be "Funcom being Funcom". I am still extremely salty about what they did to The Secret World.

There's an article in The Atlantic, Donald Trump's Fascist Romp, focusing on statements Trump made about using the National Guard and military against the "radical left" (i.e. American citizens)--who he calls "the enemy within"--and he specifically names Rep. Adam Schiff of California as one of...

Kaos has been cancelled by Netflix. :(

John Amos dies at 84 I've been re-watching Mary Tyler Moore recently, where he was Gordy the weatherman, but his most iconic role for me was James Evans on Good Times. Plus Roots, Coming to America, and so many other things.

TIL that even AI makes the rookie mistake of writing disembodied hands and fingers running around having adventures all on their own. :eek:

Russell Moore had an article in The Atlantic last week, The Moral Test of Trump's Lies About Haitian Immigrants. Of course, the people who actually need to listen to him won't, because he follows that Libtard Jesus of Nazareth instead of Republican Jesus.

Why AI Isn't Going to Make Art - Ted Chiang It's behind a New Yorker paywall, but I was able to read it with Safari's Reader view. Excellent article.

Apparently dead soldiers aren’t “suckers” and “losers” as long as he can use them for his campaign.

The reason I've played all of the Dragon Age games multiple times each (and pre-order the sequels) is not because of any amazing thing about the game mechanics or combat, it's because of the characters, specifically how the voice actors brought them to life like they're friends you're having...

Finally remembered to save the liquid when draining chickpeas and we were able to try aquafaba as an eggwhite substitute. It worked great, got the layer of foam and thicker texture but without the awful eggy flavor. It was a little salty at the bottom of the glass, but otherwise I didn't taste...

There are tons of parodies of The Last Supper, using The Fellowship of the Ring, daleks, anime casts, dogs, cats, classic film stars, The Simpsons, Loony Tunes, etc. (Do a search for 'Last Supper parodies', there's something for everyone!) References to the painting are used everywhere. The...

No, that's Paddington in Rwanda.

I read that article. Nice how they give you absolutely no context for the partial sentence and don't even cite the article so you can read it yourself. The UN's Gaza Statistics Make No Sense by Graeme Wood, https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/05/gaza-death-count/678400/ It's an...

His most memorable film for me is WarGames, the movie that set me on the path to computer nerd.

Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. They are from the Sandman universe--Edwin and Charles were introduced in the comics in Sandman: Season of Mists--and there's brief appearances by two of the Endless from the Sandman TV series. Basically a supernatural detective show that comes with complex...

There’s another one south of Omaha (Cass & Sarpy counties). Emergency alert just went off on my phone again. We’re in the basement. Not a good day to be in Metro Omaha.

I think that's why Argylle is so disappointing. It has a great cast and could have been a great movie, but they squandered the talent and gave us a half-assed Transformers movie instead. See also: JJ Abrams and the Star Wars sequels, JJ Abrams and the Star Trek reboot.
